Thanks PWS.

Very poor performance dripping with misplaced arrogance.

Sloppy, casual, lacking in technical ability and no sign of any urgency. The lot of 'em get a 0 rating.

The drama of it all

[VillaTim]

Imagine driving across Europe - IN A CAMPER VAN* - to see that slop.


* as they kept telling us

It's a long way to go for a piss up

Utter nonsense.

As poor a spectacle as it was, the positives are top of the group, Zaniolo scoring, seems to have been no injures, more minutes into Moreno and JJ.

Hmmm - whatever

There you are, we have won this tournament now.

FT: Zrinjski Mostar 1-1 Aston Villa

TNT Sports pundit Joe Cole says Aston Villa are his favourites to win this tournament.

[Baldy]

We did what we had to do and no more. Unai thinking of the bigger picture.

The nearest we might ever see to a training match behind closed doors.

Mission accomplished. Onwards and upwards.

Coley was taken off injured to the TNT treatment room shortly after.

Group winners

[PaulWinch again]

Didn’t sound great - but to be honest all bar one of the European games have been pretty bang average. But ultimately got to rotate, hopefully no injuries, and achieved the goal of winning the group.

[Scovilla]

Just back from work. Glad to see the job has been done.
Up the Villa.

[Ian.]

It’s all very pedestrian these European games. We seem to treat them like a training session and reluctant to break sweat. I guess it’s just doing a professional job and getting the job done.

[SaddVillan]

Mostar played 4-4-1-1
With only 5yds between their 2 back lines, one of which was parked on the edge of their box.
Back 4 played very narrow across the width of the goal.

Absolutely no room for our forwards and we were very slow moving the ball.
Pitch looked poor,  players on the wing slipping over from time to time.

Less room in their box than Bethlehem on Christmas Eve.

Apart from a few long balls, they showed no ambition until we scored. Whether their game plan was to try and keep it tight until the last 15 and then go shit or bust is difficult to say.

But at the end of the day, it's job done.
Onwards and upwards.

Who are we likely to get?
